Armor

quickly made these for my act w/ myles as a spirit medium who raises his husband from the dead since i didn’t have black knee-high gaiters, and used a silver pen to draw quick symbols on them backstage 1 hour before showtime :s

Made this after a Fleet Ilya piece that isn’t in production anymore but that I’ve always really admired. This was my first time developing a leather bra and it took just a few iterations. I altered the original FI design to allow the bra and the corset to be worn either separately or together. I tried to oil-dye jute for the back rope, and that did not go well at all because I used dip-dyeing and the rope has still not shed its excess oil after hours of buffing. I ended up just using plain jute for Fait’s Folsom performances. ...

articulated leather spine: veg-tan, rivets, hand-tooled, hand-painted. molded. i made this piece in 2019 but took this photo later, modeled by faited.
